Lately I'm having issues where some videos keep resetting playback repeatedly during the first 5 seconds of playback. I'm not sure what is causing this. But when I look in the log, the "Frame Crop Detected" part looks scary! That seems to be the part related to when it keeps resetting.

Anyone else having this issue?

I'm thinking about adding support to convert audio to AAC with fdk_aac. I just did a custom build of FFMPEG to support it.

I'm considering doing that to re-encode 1080p videos taken with my camera. It produces huge .MOV files. It just makes sense to re-encode them efficiently in H264, and why not run a weak denoiser along the way. The audio is uncompressed and low quality so it would make sense to re-encode it at the same time to output a valid MP4 file. I tried with DirectShowFilter and the image was skipping back and forth; that's why I convert to AVI.

I tried creating MP4 files with MP2 audios from VCDs and although the file was "valid", Windows Media Player couldn't open it. That's why I instead use MKV.

Can you check the AC3 file with MediaInfo (https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) to tell me what exact value it returns for the audio codec? Is it "AC3"?

Yes. I also replaced the denoiser from FF3DFilter to KNLMeans which gives better results.

I'm attempting to get SuperRes to work in AviSynth before releasing the next version... that requires complicated code to run shaders in AviSynth.

It happened again. This time, however,I also saw hat the CPU was only running at 50% while it was dropping frames. And then it would get back to normal. And then lag again.

madVR also offers NEDI+SuperRes

You can switch the order and still render in 60fps. I'm converting videos with an automated upscaling script and I found that what works best is
Denoise
Frame Double + Sharpen
SVP
Frame Double + Sharpen

Of course, running SVP live right in the middle would be asking too much tongue But it can be done with AviSynth.

I'm making changes that increase both the quality and the speed.

- Changing x264 encoding preset from slowest to veryslow gives a considerable advantage

- Changing NNEDI3 to run in mode 256 instead of 128 increases quality and smoothness

- Adding pixel shift correction to NNEDI3/EEDI3 and doing the resize at the same time slightly improves the image

- Running x264 in pipe mode allows separating AviSynth process from x264 process, giving separate 2GB available memory to each. It would also allow using x264 in 64-bit mode BUT official binaries don't support MP4 output (only raw H264) and FFMPEG fails to merge raw H264 into MKV, but it works with MP4. My current version of x264 does output to MP4 but I don't remember where I got that build. I can't replace it until I find another version with MP4 support.

And most importantly

- Applying SVP between the 2 frame doubles, instead of at the end, is producing an output that is considerably sharper!!

- Changing the way threads are managed is GREATLY enhancing performance!! Far outweigthing the costs of the above increased settings.

Before I was encoding on "Noisy SD" preset at 4.7fps. Now it encodes at 6.3fps.

Reverting back to AviSynth 2.5.8 does seem to make the problem go away. So far, it allows me to keep settings higher while keeping videos playing with consistency.

OK I've tested with block size 8 and 16. According to my test, block size 8 does give considerably better image quality. In that case, it does make sense to have higher artifact masking. So I'll agree with SubJunk's Smooth settings.

The errors were being thrown by InterFrame.

Yes, it's one of the svpflow*.dll plugins. Instead using "ThrowError()" in the plugin so a client application could catch and handle it, the developer decided to print the error directly to the console. Unbelievable.

Actually, it's easy to see how you're doing it. I just have to look at "Last Generated AVS Script" with and without Artifact Masking to see the difference.

The difference is "area:50", which InterFrame can override by specifying OverrideArea. I'm not sure what "cover:80" is.

InterFrame, with "Smooth" preset, uses area:150 which is way too high, and "{block:{w:8,overlap:2}" which is way too high.

I'll get better results by calling InterFrame with "OverrideAlgo=23, OverrideArea=50" instead of "preset=smooth".

I also see that it generates only w:8 while you generate w:8,h:8. Is the 'h' parameter optional?

As for changing "{block:{w:8,overlap:2}" to "{block:{w:16,overlap:2}", I don't see any way of doing it without changing the code. Setting preset "fast" would change it but also set "pel:1" which I don't know what it is but probably don't want. I just have to change "8" with "16" in the InterFrame.avsi file.

InterFrame isn't difficult to tweak as it's just a plain text file that generates a script for SVP.

I'm looking at its script to see what it's doing. For motion vectors grid, it appears to be taking "6px Small 2" by default, which I'm not sure about. Doesn't that increase artifacts? If performance isn't an issue, would it still be better to use "12 px. Average 2" to get better quality?

Also, I'm not seeing any code to use Artifacts Masking. How can I add Artifacts Masking = Weak?

What I found to work best is Complicated + Weak Artifacts Masking.

Complicated + Small2 will generate unnecessary artifacts.

Try this version smile This should make it easier. You can customize SVP's output frame rate at will by changing the script yourself.
https://github.com/mysteryx93/NaturalGr … tag/v1.2.1

The reason I don't offer DirectShowSource by default is that for some files, you'll get the wrong pixel aspect ratio, while other files will fail to open. I tried with one file and got the error "The renderer won't speak to me!"

I'm using the "slowest" preset with x264 which reduces the output file size while keeping the same quality.

I'm just about to release an updated version that will allow you to open the file with DirectShowSource, and that allows you to customize the script at will.

The whole re-encoding process is very hungry. Not so much x264.exe, but especially NNEDI3 and especially EEDI3. You can't ask your computer to do any real computing work if it heats like that. Either tweak or change your fan, or put some cubes of ice under it  big_smile
